- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Alberton or within 3 km of it are here.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
